  Despite the weather (rain, hail, snow, sun!

  ), we had a glorious stay. The pros: stunning views, beautifully peaceful, a welcome pack that included treats for the dogs, separate towels for hot tub provided, the mattresses and bedding were high quality and so comfy, comfy furniture, decent glasses, dishwasher and washer/dryer with pods provided, hot tub was divine, good size entry mat for those muddy paws!, full smart TV, all fixtures and fittings were clearly well thought out and high quality, as it’s on the end nobody can see you in the hot tub. The cons: only 2 tea bags and 2 sachets of coffee provided (picky I know, but I’ve stayed at cheaper places that provide more), not suitable for all dogs - stock fencing to the side entrance would not be secure for small dogs (although you could easily put something across this), fencing height is very low (prob 3ft if that) and this means large dogs can see each other over the fence, it also means you can see the people next door if you’re in the garden - some bamboo screening between the properties would improve privacy (and maybe taller mesh/trellis on the other sides), most of the property was immaculate but the lamps were very dusty and the extractor fan a little greasy. Finally, an info pack would really help - little things like rules for dogs, how to operate hot tub/heating, places close by that dogs can be walked, what to do with dirty laundry at the end of the stay and recycling/rubbish. Overall a fabulous, relaxing stay and we would come back with the dogs as Elan Valley Welsh has the best position.

  What a wonderful place!

  Lucky enough to visit within the first few months so the place was like new. Although with the lovely families dedication to the place, I can absolutely imagine it’ll stay this way for years to come. The place is beautifully designed and really feels like a special place to have a break. Attention to detail is super obvious, from the plush beds and bed linens to the fancy shower and well equipped kitchen. Nice to not need to take the little things you forget, boring dishwasher tables and salt & pepper things. A huge garden with views to just watch for hours from the lovely garden furniture or hot tub. Our dog enjoyed it too, he was a very relaxed boy with lots of space to wander about and snooze in. No criticisms at all! Apart from maybe needing a washing line for the wet costumes once you’ve tumbled out the hot tub for the 17th time, but that’s a minor detail. A few things if taking pooches but again no criticism to place - gardens huge but fences are low to not hinder view! Be prepared for welcomed faces over fences to yours or your pooch to be nosing at neighbours. Could be a problem if your dog is a little reactive to other stuff going on. Although we were next to dog people too so all fun and not serious! There also aren’t any quick dog walks directly from cottage so a bit of a research before hand id recommend. Also, it’s no lie, there’s sheep everywhere! Hope you stay here, can’t recommend enough. Lauren, India, Alison, Lewis & River the Vizsla

  On arrival the Lodge was pristinely clean and tidy, with little welcoming touches like prosecco and Welsh cakes which were greatly appreciated after a long drive.

  The photographs taken for the Lodge's listing on booking sites are accurate, except they don't show the birds and the sheep who sometimes come right up to the fence to say hello! For us, the biggest draw of Cilan Lodge has to be its hot tub. It doesn't disappoint - solid construction, incredible views, jacuzzi massage jets, pre-heated and ready to go whenever you are. It's ever-so welcome when coming back from a full day of hill walking. The tub's best feature though is its seclusion. We've stayed at other places where the 'private hot tub' is partially overlooked by other tubs or properties. Not at Cilan Lodge though - the tub and patio are entirely enclosed on three sides, plus the roof, so the nearest place where you could be seen from is several hundred meters away across multiple fields. The Lodge is well situated right in the middle of North Wales, so there's something for everyone within a reasonable travel time by car. It's 15min from the quaint little towns of Bala and Corwen, 25min from Llangollen, 40min from the adventurous activities in Ffestiniog, 45min from the centre of the larger towns of Wrexham and Oswestry, and 1hr from Llanberis for Mt. Snowdon. Overall, very happy with our mid-week break at Cilan Lodge. It's perfect for couples looking for a retreat. We'd thoroughly recommend it and will look forward to staying again next time we're in North Wales.

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Elan Valley Welsh and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

  The cleanliness of the accommodation was impeccable, with every corner shining and spotless. The maintenance of the property was top-notch, showcasing a high level of care and attention to detail. One of the highlights of my stay was the amazing hot tub. It was the perfect way to unwind and relax after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings. The hot tub was well-maintained and provided a luxurious experience that added an extra level of comfort to my stay. I was pleasantly surprised by the great wifi connection at Elan Valley Welsh. When you book somewhere that is as remote as The Sheepfold you expect a very slow WiFi speed, however this was not the case. Whether I needed to catch up on socials or simply stream my favorite movies, the wifi never let me down, allowing me to stay connected throughout my stay. The views from the property were truly breathtaking. Waking up to the sunrise shining over the Welsh countryside was a treat for the senses, especially when you can take these views in from the hot tub. Overall, my experience at the Elan Valley Welsh was nothing short of fantastic. The combination of great cleanliness, excellent maintenance, an amazing hot tub, reliable wifi, and stunning views made for a perfect getaway. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat in the heart of the Welsh countryside

  We wanted a relaxing girlie trip and that’s exactly what we got!

  A beautifully maintained lodge that was totally immaculate and welcoming ready for our arrival. All the facilities that we needed for a 2 night break away without our husbands and children ☺️ Tesco’s is a short drive away, so we could get what we needed and the welcome pack of crisps, waffles and prosecco waiting for us from the owners we found a lovely touch. There is also a few little pots of milk in the fridge. The tea, coffee and sachets of sugar will also tide you over until you can get to do a grocery shop. We found the Munchala app was needed to order a takeaway from the local Indian (Similar to Uber Eats!) and delivery was with us in the hour. The owner popped up during our stay to ask if all was well and could he help at all ~ Again, another lovely touch! ~ and could they improve in any way. The only thing we could think of was a mirror in the bedroom… but that is something really minor and we all managed without ok with mirrors that we had brought with us and the one in the bathroom There’s free Wi~Fi available in the lodge and from there you’re able to check what’s local to you. All in all, a really lovely, stylish and spotlessly clean accommodation that we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone wanting to explore the local area, or that wants a little R&R! Thank you for having us
